There was more success from the Harriers hammer throwers as Archie Kinneir launched his 5kg hammer 47.52 metres, just shy of his February personal best of 48.28, to win the under-17 men’s discipline.
Holly Scott matched that in the women’s under-17s throwing 47.58 metres and then suffering a narrow foul with an even bigger throw close to her lifetime best as she stepped out of the throwing circle.
Then in the under-15s age group, Lottie Harding threw a personal best of 33.70 metres for victory and also ran the 100 metres.
There were also plenty of promising performances at the event in the middle-distance running with Charissa Griffiths-Clack continuing the good form she has shown over the winter cross-country season to clock a personal of 4:10.01 for second in the under-13s 1200 metres.

In her first outdoors competition of the year, Abigail Hackley scorched to a personal best of 26.76 in the 200 metres at the Yeovil Spring Open, breaking 27 seconds for the first time. Hackley also won her heat of the 400 metres in a time of 62.02.
